This week we finish our conversation on things the Bible actually doesn't say about women.
We discuss how sex isn't just for men and that men aren't charged with being the primary breadwinners of the family. Then we move on to Biblical pictures of femininity and masculinity (hint: we're all being remade in the image of Jesus) and how both parents are necessary to raising children.
This is the first of two parts where we tackle some common conservative narratives about gender that aren't actually in the Bible.
This week we tackle the myths that men are supposed to keep women in line, that men and woman always view each other sexually, and that husbands are called to lead their wives. (Don't freak out until you listen in, ok?)
We'll finish up this conversation next week.
This week, we are tackling how to confront sin. This is not an intensive guide (please seek wise counsel from godly people in your life) but rather an overview of some Biblical attitudes to help direct your actions.
We talk about why how you talk to and about your spouse on the regular matters, when Phylicia resembled a cornered badger, and why you shouldn't be the accountability for your spouse.
Spring is baby and wedding shower time! In light of that, we decided to dedicate an episode to expecting and new mamas. We share books, the pared-down baby necessities list, birth accounts on Instagram, and resting- really resting- after you give birth.
Then we move into early motherhood and making sustainable decisions instead of convenient ones, avoiding the "mommy wars" by remembering the freedom we have about so many things as believers, and keeping something fun around to entertain yourself when you are up with the baby.
Note: If you listen with your kids around, we do discuss both birth and sex after babies. You might want to pop in some headphones for that part!
